If you have an account on your computer that you never use (eg an account set up so someone can access the computer from the network) and you are fed up of it cluttering up the log in screen, simply goto Local policy editor and do not allow the user to log on locally. And it dissapears from the screen but they can still log on remotely.

 

And also Disabling the account makes it dissapear too.

The best thing to do is get the properties for your startmenu/task bar and make Administrative tools a group. Then theyre their all the time and you can leave the control panel looking funky like it was...
